The scourge of shrinkflation needs to be exposed. Shoppers are being hammered during a cost of living crisis while massive companies force them to pay more for less. The Government must accept our Liberal Democrat amendment to protect shoppers and their already stretched household budgets.

We'll be there with @readinglibdems.bsky.social - plenty of us going to Manchester, London and elsewhere too. #transrightsarehumanrights

I am increasingly disappointed that the concerns of the #LGBTQ+ community over what the Supreme Court judgement means for them are not yet being addressed. I have written to the Government asking them to make clear how trans and non binary rights will be protected.

Happy Caturday folks!

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

This is so sad...

The people of Ukraine have valiantly fought to defend their democracy and freedom. Donald Trump has only ever fought to enrich himself and his cronies. Britain must stand with Ukraine against Putin. Article by @mikeysmith.com

Fantastic day today. Made a new friend or two...

He's not wrong...

This is scary, people. He made this salute in front of the whole world! Just imagine what he’s doing behind closed doors. And this guy will be in the White House for the next four years!

The European Commission has ordered Elon Musk to hand over documents on X's algorithm. X must hand over internal documents on its recommendation algorithm and comply to a retention order for related materials, and provide details on content moderation and amplification practices.

Good morning. #NeverForget

This is, in many ways, a central thesis of ‘How They Broke Britain’ and was indeed inevitable.

We can't let British democracy turn into a plaything for overseas billionaires with short attention spans. At PMQs, I urged the Prime Minister to work with us to make sure power always sits with the voters, not wealthy foreign oligarchs.

Happy Caturday folks!

The unspeakable horrors Mazen alHamada suffered at the hands of Assad's torturers, etched in his sunken eyes & haunted face, made him a symbol of the regime's crimes & brutality.

“Gaza, in our day of happiness we haven’t forgotten you” - Damascus today

On this day, as we celebrate in Syria and around the world, we pause to honor and remember those who never lived to see this moment. Rest in peace to the fallen victims of Syria.

Learning that “South Korean presidents do not have immunity from the crime of insurrection, which can carry the death penalty”. Seems like *certain* countries could learn from that. (Though, fuck the death penalty, let wannabe dictators rot in jail for life).

Trump made 160 million from foreign governments during his first term. He has shown himself for to be completely quid quo pro and his foreign policy reflects that.

Slava Ukraini!

Today we remember those who've lost their lives, and commit to ending deaths by AIDS. We must: ☑️ Ensure everyone has access to HIV prevention and treatment. ☑️:End stigma and discrimination around HIV. ☑️:Make testing the norm. #WorldAIDSDay
